Export green list waste from the UK: submit Annex VII records on the waste tracking service
Green list waste exporters can use the export waste from the UK service to record all their Annex VII exports.
Exporters can use this service to:
- enter the details of a single green list waste export
- update any estimates you may have entered – for example, collection date or waste quantity
- download and print Annex VIIs to include with your waste shipment (this will be created using the information that you enter)
You will still need to notify your regulators of any movements you intend to make.
Start nowBefore you start
Before you can use the waste tracking service, you must:
- Sign in or create a Government Gateway account for your business or organisation if you do not have one yet. Do not use a Government Gateway account created to access your personal information.
- Sign in or register for a business or organisation Defra account using this Government Gateway ID if you do not have one yet.
Because you're registering on behalf of a business or organisation, you'll also need:
- the main contact details for your business or organisation (for example, head office contact details)
- the Companies House number if the business or organisation is a limited company
You can set up these accounts when you select ‘Start now’.
If you’re an agent acting on behalf of an exporter, you must register for the waste tracking service using your own business details.
Check export controls
If you plan to export waste from the UK, you must report this in advance, before the waste is picked up by the first carrier. You’ll be able to update estimates to actuals later.
